Isn't Fedora working on something like this right now?? Only downloading the pieces that were updated? If yes, It would help to look at what they are doing. Markus Hitter wrote: Am 31.01.2009 um 15:09 schrieb Davyd McColl: I don't appreciate a 78mb download every other day because one

If such a thing is implemented, it should be checked by default and hidden in the Advanced settings dialog. Unexperienced users should get security updates by default. Chris wrote: I agree that a checkbox should be implemented. Think it'll be ready in Jaunty? =P -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss

YES, we should disable OS updates by default for n00bs just because a paranoid user made a comment. Very intelligent. Manish Sinha wrote: nergar wrote: If such a thing is implemented, it should be checked by default and hidden in the Advanced settings dialog. Unexperienced users should get

Re: Firefox newly insists on showing an EULA

I think we discussed enough, we should start taking action. We are already at Alpha 6 freeze state and clearly most of us don't want any stinking EULAs popping when starting our free software. We must have this sorted out before 8.10 Beta comes out. -- Ubuntu-devel-discuss mailing list

Re: I encountered a horrible experience with Nautilus and GParted

Not sure but I think stopping hald would ugly-fix this. hal daemon is what nautilus uses to find out about new plugged devices. Maybe gparted could stop the daemon when it starts and could start it back when you close it. Well at least AFAIK. On Fri, 2008-08-22 at 07:28 +1000, William Grant

Dear Mark Fink I would like you to reconsider your concept of Open Source and the reason why you are using Linux. You don't seem to understand the philosophy behind free software. Foss is all about choice so if you don't like it here you can very well use OpenBSD or anything else, but you

One main problem I'm having with Hardy's boot process is that it looses about 40 seconds trying to resume i don't know what just before the bios finishes doing its things: kinit: trying to resume from /dev/disk/something kinit: no resume image, doing normal boot... After that, Hardy boots
